“
THE VIGNELLI CANON
Great designs can be achieved
without the use of the grid, but the
grid is a very useful tool to
guarantee results.
Ultimately the most important tool is
the management of the white space
in layouts. It is the white space that
makes the layout sing. Bad layouts
have no space left for breathing —
every little space is covered by a
cacophony of type sizes, images,
and screaming titles.
